G10: Rays 3, Red Sox 1 (12)

The Red Sox loaded the bases in the bottom of the 11th on two singles and an infield error, but could not score (Ortiz FC/3-2, Beltre GIDP/5-3).

Then less than 10 minutes later, Pat Burrell hit a two-run home run off Manny Delcarmen. Jason Varitek doubled with one out in the bottom of the 12th, but Mike Cameron and Marco Scutaro could not advance him.

Friday's suspended game will be resumed tonight at 7 PM, and the regularly scheduled game will follow.

It is the Red Sox's first suspended since May 3, 1996 (Blue Jays at Fenway Park). The Rays had never had a regular-season game suspended.

Carl Crawford stole his 28th consecutive base against the Red Sox. Boston has not thrown him out since September 21, 2005. The Red Sox have thrown out only one of 17 attempted base stealers. Why don't teams run six, eight, ten times a game? It must be one of those "unwritten rules".

After a rain delay of a little more than an hour (10:21 to 11:24), tonight's game has been suspended with the Red Sox due to bat in the bottom of the ninth.

The Rays scored an unearned run off Beckett (7-4-1-1-8, 106) and Jason Varitek (!) tied the game with a solo home run in the fifth.

Tampa Bay is 6-3, tied for second place with the Yankees, 0.5 GB the Blue Jays. The Red Sox (4-5) are 2.5 GB.

Alex Speier takes an in-depth look at several of the Red Sox's current problems. Since that was posted, it has been reported Mike Cameron has a kidney stone (which are nofun) and Jacoby Ellsbury will not be able to play tonight.

mmmmm......There is oatmeal, and there is rock and roll. Another miss for me. I'll be burying my head in some rock and roll tonight and tomorrow night as well.And who's that team listed on the Red Sox lone-up card. That's not the 2010 Boston team I know. Not the one I want to come to know either.Get well soon......EVERYBODY.(muthaf#@r please!)Drew may be allright in the 2 spot, but I just can't see moving laser-shot FY outta there. Eh, it's just me though.Here's hoping my late-night alcohol-influenced comments are of a positive nature tonight ;>

when I was young and we would go to the cape a lot of the french canadiens would like to sport the speedo, with hair pouring out everywhere, it was my first impression of the canadiens, just thought I share that....

I'm planning to move to Santiago DR to get a Master's in Criminal Justice. I will still need Spanish as a 2nd language classes, I would say I'm intermediate. At least I have a Spanish for Law Enforcement workbook I can do.

Jays "fans" are definitely some of the worst in baseball. People here like to say that the team hasn't done anything since 92/93, so the fans stay away. Idiots. I can just imagine how they all became instant fans in September, then dropped out in May of the following year.

I have other reasons also, to get away from the rapidly forming USA police state and soon to come currency crash. Not to mention the weather and women in the DR. The drawbacks are needing bottled water, a genset to cover for spotty electricity plus your general developing country corruption.

Security theatre at DHS, l-girl, and when you show up, they decide to mount a farce--lots of slamming doors, misunderstood communication, surprise entrances and exits, everything a farce needs except sex, fun, and effervesence.
